We are writing with an update from The Edge CIC inBrixham.
Firstly, thank you to all our Pledgeholders for your continued support.
As you may now know, despite reaching our pledge target after just three weeks (thank you!),
we have sadly been unsuccessful in our attempts to purchase The Edge.
We've been working closely with a social lender for the last three months,
who were keen to invest in our organisation. However, at the eleventh hour, the social lender
and the administrator were unable to agree on a market value for the premises.
Ultimately, this meant they were unable to reach an agreement and move ahead with the purchase.
A new home for The Edge CIC
The overwhelming support we have received from our community, and the income we now
receive through your pledges, has given us the ability to consider renting a new home for the
many strands of our community project.
We have spent the week packing up our entire operation and have safely stored all our
board games, laptops, kettles, badges, posters,stickers and T-shirts!
We are now actively searching for a commercial venue suitable for our operation,
with a view to reopening our many wellbeing activities, including textiles groups, arts and crafts,
IT drop-in support clinics and our safe space.
We also hope to resume our other community support services,including our benefits advice service,
food bank and community kitchen.
In the meantime, The Edge CIC is on pause.
Support while we're closed
Until we are able to offer these services again, you can find similar support locally.

Thank you
We would like to once again thank you all for your help, support and understanding.
Some of you have supported us by joining our Pledge forThe Edge campaign. Some have volunteered their time,
donated food or supported us in countless other ways.
For us, this reinforces the feeling of family that has always been at the heart of The Edge.
So thank you again, we will continue to update you all and if you have any questions
you can contact us via social media or email.
